Re: AS SET

If i am wrong please correct me.

when bgp is summarized then information for the routes being summarized is
lost. And summarizing AS is considered to be originator of this new route.
All the AS afterwards dont have knowledge of routes being summarized that
from which AS they belong. And this can led from non-optimal routing to
routing loops, because of this as-set is used to feed with
more information about routes being summarized.
